UPPERWHARFEDALE SCHOOL FUND INDEPENDENTEXAMINERS REPORT FOR THEYEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 Ind min th rwh I report to the Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity ("the Trust") for the year ended 31" March 2025 covering pages 2 and 3. Responsibilities As the Charity Trustees of the Trust, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance withthe requirements of the CharitiesAct 2011 {'theAct'). TheTrustees considerthat an audit is not required forthis year undersection 144 of the 2011 Act and that an independent examination is needed under Section 145 of the 2011 Act. I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed the applicable directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145{51(b} of the Act. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the ¢h8rity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide allthe evidence that would be required in an audit. and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts. Independent examiner's statement I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: Accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act. The accounts do not accord with the accounting records. I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in orderto enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
